Smart cities. Guide to establishing a decision-making framework for sharing data and information services
This PAS gives guidance on establishing a decision-making framework for sharing data and information services in smart cities.
It covers:
types of data in smart cities;
establishing a data sharing culture;
data value chain – roles and responsibilities;
purposes for data use;
assessing data states;
defining access rights for data; and
data formats/format of transportation.
This PAS aims to support the sharing of data and information services within cities. For some cities there will also be a need to establish specific data sharing agreements, particularly where data is being shared by multiple organizations at once.
This PAS supports a transparent approach to making decisions and creating specific data sharing agreements in order to fully realise the benefits and value of data and information services in a city.
Missing data or misinterpretation of data can lead to the wrong actions being taken by city decision-makers. A decision-making framework for sharing data can help ensure that they have the best overall data on which to base decisions.
This PAS does not cover:
national security issues;
good practice for use of data by the citizen;
existing interoperability agreements between cities;
defining application programming interfaces (API) networks; or
any data sharing rules and regulations specific to a particular jurisdiction.
It is assumed that a security-minded approach to data sharing is used by cities.
NOTEÂ 1 Requirements on establishing and implementing a security-minded approach to data sharing are specified in PASÂ 185 (in preparation).
NOTEÂ 2 Further details on the areas not covered in this PAS, including information on relevant standards publications, are given in Annex A.
This PAS is for use by decision-makers in smart cities from the public, private and third sectors. It is also of interest to any city organization wishing to share data.
